If I may write some feedback here:
First I want to thank you for opening up the stress test to everyone. It was such a blast playing again and I can’t wait to dive into it in August’s launch.
There were some big problems I found while leveling though. I chose the PvP realm #3 and logged in at 2:30pm the first day. It took me over 2, 2.5 hours to get level 5. I LOVED that. It was busy, I needed to group, find ways to get creative and level. I left a few quests and came back to others. It felt like a large launch, and it’s what I expected.
My big problem came after leaving Elywnn Forrest. When I went to Westfall level 10, I had a very hard time finding groups. I was in a guild, and when I asked in /general chat (westfall) if anyone would be interested in grouping, I got 0 responses. Nobody was chatting in general chat. I asked my guild members who were also in Westfall if they saw me talking in general, and they said no.
There needs to be a way through layering that we can still communicate with the whole community. Leveling was a nightmare by myself as a warrior and I couldn’t find any help. That was something that seemed very buggy. Would love a comment on if that was intended or not, or if we’re supposed to be able to talk to the community. I found at least 4 rare spawns throughout Westfall, and there weren’t enough people to group together and do it. It just seemed desolate. I feel as though less layering may need to happen in the next leveling areas.
Once level 15 and doing WSG there was nothing keeping track of flag caps or returns. You might already be aware.
If I can think of anything else I will edit!
